"come on."called Billy to his dog,"We're here.""Let's explore our new home."But Billy's dog was too old and tired for exploring.As the months passed,he became slower and slower.And then one day he died.Together Billy and his mom buried him in the garden.Winter came,Billy was lonely.He missed his old friend.He'd written a letter to Father Christmas,and was about to take it downstairs,when he tripped over a loose floorboard."what's this?"thought Billy,as he pulled out an old shoebox.inside he found a worn-out hat,some pices of coal,a shriveled tangerine,and a tatty green scarf.As Billy unfolded the scarf,an old phtography dropped out,"how odd!"and then he realized,another boy had lived here.and he had made an amazing snowman."I'm gonna make a snowman too."thought Billy,"just like his one."he took the box and ran outside,and began to build his own snowman,he uses two pieces of coal for the eyes,and a new tangerine for the nose.and last of all,he gave him a great big smile.his snowman was perfect,but there was still plenty of snow left.Billy had an idea,he started
building again,and bit by bit with two socks for ears,he made a snowdog.now it was late,Billy said goodnight to his two new friends,and went inside to bed.that midnight,Billy was woken by a muffled bark.he peered out of the window and rubbed his eyes in disbelief,"did the snowdog move?!"he ran downstairs and flung open the backdoor.and then the most magical thing happened.the snowman and the snowdog came to life,Billy could hardly believed
what he saw,the snowman politely shook his hand,and the snowdog bounded up to say hello,then he was off,out the garden where he found his old dog's ball,he wanted to play,but the snowman had found something too.It was a sledge,Billy climed on board,out through the gate they went,towards the park and up the hill,when they reached the top,Billy gaseped in amazement.the air was full of flying snowmen rising up from the gardens below.what a magical sight!suddenly the snowman took Billy's hand and stared to run.Billy grabbed the snowdog,and before he knew it,they were flying.low over the rooftops they flew,then high above the city,and out across the countryside.all of a sudden the snowman sneezed,and his tangerine nose blew off.they swooped down to find it,but when they landed they find something really exciting."oh."cried Billy,"an aeroplane!"together they went to take a closer look.they climbed in,and with the snowman at the controls,they were flying again,out to sea
they flew,on and on towards the North Pole.and what a sight greeted them when they arrived,there were snowmen and snowwomen everywhere.they had all come to compete in the snowman's annual downhill race.grabbing some skis and a sledge,Billy and the snowman reached the starting line just in time,the whistle blew and they were off,twisting and turning they sped down the course.with snowmen falling at every corner,soon Billy and the snowdog were the only ones left,battling it out with a penguin,and just as it seems certain the penguin would win,the little snoedog stretched forward and broke the finishing line tape with his nose,they had won!amidst the celebrations,Father Christmas arrived,he handed Billy a small parcel,"thank you for your letter,"he said,"this is for you.""happy christmas."Billy was overwhelmed,but there was no time to open the parcel,dawn was breaking and it was time to go,back they flew across the sea,and towards home,when they landed in BIlly's back garden,it was time for him to go back inside to bed,"I wish you could come with me."said Billy,"but you would melt indoors."Billy's eyes filled with tears,he reached into his pocket for a hankie,and instead found the present from Father Christmas.quickly he unwrapped it,inside was a brand new dog collar,he fastened it around the snowdog's neck,"there you are."he said,"just like a proper dog."he turned to go,but as he did so the snowdog's collar started to glow,brighter ang brighter,until suddenly"woof!"and where the snowdog had been was a real live dog,his tail wagging with delight,"oh."cried Billy,scooping him up,"you are just what I asked for in my letter to Father Christmas!"overjoyed,he hugged the snowman,and then it was time to go inside,back in his bedroom,Billy waved goodnight to the snowman,and he snuggled down in bed with his new friend."I think I will call you Socks,"he said,as he drifted off to sleep.but when Billy woke up,Socks was nowhere to be seen.Billy's heart sank."had it all been just a dream?"then,hearing an excited bark,Billy rushed downstairs,there was Socks,waiting to go outside and play.Billy opend the door,and out Socks sped,bounding towards the snowman,but the snowman was gone,melted away in the early moring sun.
